Off-Ice Skill Development Strategy
This is the 2nd of 3 intro videos for the Home Hockey Training Center. Check out the first video before watching this one. Here are the links to videos 1 and 3:
There are certain hockey skills that can very realistically be developed away from the rink, and then there are some that don’t work quite as well. You can gain an advantage over your opponent by practicing as many skills as possible off the ice. This video breaks down which skills can (and should) be worked on away from the rink, and gives a quick overview of how you might want to strategize your off-ice training plans.
The main hockey skills that can be developed at home are as follows:
- Shooting
- Stickhandling
- Passing Technique
- Some Skating Elements
Then there are a few physical performance items that should be worked on at home as well:
- Agility
- Strength
- Explosiveness
With the cost of ice so high, developing your hockey abilities at home is a cheap, and extremely effective way to improve your game!
